Selections based on a good track.
Race 1
1. Bounding Bon has only had six starts and has been placed in three of them. He resumed from a spell with a solid fourth at Wellington and then followed that up with a second at Wagga when last produced. Looks to have the talent to break through for his maiden victory. 8. Nightwalker ran third at this track and then at Dubbo before a last-start fourth at Bathurst when not too far away. This isnโt beyond him. 2. Codonas started his career in Victoria and has had two starts since joining the Clint Lundholm stable, including a second at Parkes when finishing strongly. He is on the improve. 7. Ruby Harmony is another former Victorian that is resuming from a spell here for a new stable. She is yet to be placed from four starts but can improve.
How to play it: Bounding Bon to win.

Race 2
4. Bombay Boom looked the goods when resuming from a spell with an all-the-way win at Albury as favourite. He backed that up with a last-start second at Canberra behind Margin Call when racing on the speed and battling on well. 1. Crusader Kings was a winner at Bathurst in May and resumed at Rosehill last time out with a solid fifth in Highway grade. Primed to run well in this grade. 3. Super Zippi ran fourth at Mudgee when last produced and she can get into the minor money. 7. Cifonelli was an Acton track winner at Canberra in June and is second up from a spell.

Race 3
3. Behtar is a well-performed import that showed talent when in the care of Peter Snowden and is now in the stable of Nick Olive. He ran well in city grade when fourth at Warwick Farm when last produced and although back in distance, he can be in the thick of things. 1. Howโs It Kev won at Coonamble five starts ago and has been placed at this track and at Warwick Farm in two of his past three starts. 2. Knifeโs Edge was midfield in the Mudgee Cup when last produced and has the talent to figure, while 7. Turgenev ran second in a small field here last time out and has place claims again.
How to play it: Behtar to win.
Race 4
4. Lego Master is a Graff three-year-old on debut after a number of trials and he looks set to run well based on the two latest trial performances. 9. Fan Sea Diva made her debut with a strong finishing fourth at Nowra and a repeat of that would have her right in the hunt. 11. Inyun has only had two stars for a debut second at Narromine before a second at this track as favourite last time out. 13. Written About ran third on debut at Nowra and warrants thought.
